Dig Site

Four years, carefully excavated.

An excavation season for the cohort. A gridded trench in the courtyard, a find tag for every graduate, and a finds tray of four years catalogued properly at the end.

Enter this realm500 EGP · One-time, one group

The concept

You learned to dig slowly. Catalogue the season.

Dig Site stages the day as the last day of a season. A string grid over a sand trench in the courtyard, a find tag for every graduate, a finds tray where each person places one object from their four years, and a site notebook that closes the season.

It's made for archaeology and Egyptology students, so the recording conventions are real. The palette is trench brown, sand and a surveyor's red for the grid.

Identity

A find tag and a grid square.

A find-tag layout — site, square, context, find number, date — used on name cards, the tray and the programme, supplied editable in English and Arabic.

A grid-square reference per person and a four-page guide on the one rule: red is the grid, nothing else.

Design assets

Print-ready at true size, no guessing at the copy shop.

Photography

Twelve shots, in order, for a courtyard in low sun.

Low afternoon light shows texture in sand, so the list shoots late: brushes on a find, a tag being written, the whole group round the trench from above.

A grade preset that keeps sand warm without turning skin orange.

Video

One 45-second edit anybody can cut on a phone.

One find per person brushed clean, cut against its owner reading the tag.

Find-tag titles as transparent PNGs, plus a guide to filming top-down with a phone.

Photo pieces

The things people photograph

Eight pieces come in every realm, drawn in that realm's own colours. Each one is a print file at its real size with a how-to page — send it to a print shop or make it at home. Your department code and year change on all of them at once in Studio.
